Abstract. In this paper we introduce the method of bi-linear cryptanalysis (BLC), designed specifically to attack Feistel ciphers. It allows to construct periodic biased character...
In this paper we study structural properties of SPN ciphers in which both the S-boxes and the affine layers are involutions. We apply our observations to the recently designed Rijn...
Abstract. We present a new stream cipher, Rabbit, based on iterating a set of coupled nonlinear functions. Rabbit is characterized by a high performance in software with a measured...

In this paper, we present the use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to attack the classical ciphers. We use frequency analysis as our basic tool. First we investigate the...
It is widely believed that diversity in operating systems, software packages, and hardware platforms will decrease the virulence of worms and the effectiveness of repeated applic...
